A
Message from the President
 1998
marked the humble beginning of our toilet crusade. Since then, we have
initiated many activities with other crusaders such as government agencies,
legislators, building developers, facility managers and cleaning
contractors in our efforts to sustain clean public toilets.
The
SARS period in 2003 had everyone on our toes and heightened Singaporeans’
awareness of public health. Together with NEA, we took the opportunity to
launch the Happy Toilet Programme (HTP), a set of stringent benchmarks for
the design, cleanliness and maintenance of public toilets.
Outreach
and education is also one of our active areas. Our Happy Toilet Seminar
series is a hit with business decision makers, not to mention the Happy
Toilet School Education (HTSE) programme, which to-date have reached out to
two-thirds of the Primary & Secondary Schools in Singapore.
This
year, we are proud to launch ‘LOO Express’ - a quarterly e-newsletter to
keep partners and supporters like you informed of our latest activities and
any other interesting toilet-related news.
C.O.E.
- We’re not talking about cars here. It’s about the Community, Outreach & Education
activities that RAS staff has been busy with lately. Check it out in LOOney News!
Can’t believe that a school toilet can be that
beautiful? Take a look at LOOs
in Action! We are pleased to share with you the successful
Happy Toilet School Education (HTSE) project at Xishan Primary School where the students
delicately transformed their once humble toilets into character
development-themed ones.
As
for what’s up next for RAS in the coming months,
you can always find out in LOOking Ahead!
Hear
what the HTSE team has to say about their personal experiences at work at Friends of LOO!
Toilet
is Everyone’s Business.To
achieve clean public toilets, it is essential for all to participate and
become stakeholders.
It
doesn’t matter if you are representing an
organization or are an individual. We welcome your participation in our
activities as a sponsor, partner or volunteer. The first and simplest thing
which you could do as a responsible toilet user is to send us your feedback
on public toilets. Sms us. Email us. Talk to us.
Together,
let’s make public toilets another icon of Singapore’s star quality!
